MAKING OF THE MINNIE



SO WHEN WE INVITE CONNIE TO GO WALKIES WITH US IN THE PARK, SHE SUSPECTS SHE MAY BE PHOTOGRAPHED, AND SO SHE THROWS US A BONE AND WEARS ONE OF OUR OWN: THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA MINNIE DRESS
MADE FROM THOSE INDIGO INDIAN RAIN SPOTS WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT, AND TRIMMED IN SOME COTTON LACE SCALLOPS, THE MINNIE IS TOTALLY HAND FINISHED WITH FRENCH SEAMS.
WE CALLED HER MINNIE BECAUSE WE COULDN'T HELP BUT IMAGINE A HIPPIE VERSION OF MICKEY'S WIFE WHEN PUTTING THESE DOTS TOGETHER. 
(SOMEONE RUN AND FETCH CONNIE SOME MOUSE EARS FOR EFFECT PLEASE)


BEFORE SHE LANDED ON CONNIE'S BACK: MINNIE MEETS HER MAKER (MOI).
